Reviews
"We went here after an awful experience at Straights across the street. Ambiance outstanding. Fun but not too loud. Service was top notch from start to finish. Friendly and efficient. Our server Louis was the best. All his food recommendations were spot on. Food was fast and delicious. I would definitely come here again."
"Worst experience ever. We booked a reservation online and intended to have omakase sushi set. But when we arrive at 8pm at our reservation time. The waitress told us the omakase is no longer available. The restaurant manager came to us and told us we have to call to make reservations if we want to have omakase. There’s no way we can know that we have to CALL to make reservation for omakase until we arrived. Very unorganized service. Won’t ever come again and would not recommend."
"From friendly staff to delicious sushi, we came here for a celebration and it was really so so nice. Host was able to accommodate us for a last minute reservation. We had the nigiri lover omakase and was so full. I’d recommend to get their authentic wasabi… it’s just so much better. No nose burns hehe. Thank you for such a sweet dinner experience !"
"Great dining experience. The food quality is superb. We tried many dishes and were left satisfied. You get what you pay for, so show up. The waiter was excellent, informative, and accommodating *don't expect the same if you treat waiters like servants. You know who you are."
"We arrived early and started at the outdoor bar, had a few drinks nice signature drinks lychee martini and a I think it was called a lava margarita. My wife went in to check in for our reservation and I guess the ramen bar is not as popular it was empty and because they were not nice or helpful at all and didn't even acknowledge my wife a she was trying to ask a question.... we figured out on our own that it was the next door and went over there. Great experience at Robata Jinya. Food was great, service was very good. So to sum it up outdoor bar we recommend and Robata Jinya highly recommend... Ramen bar didn't eat there but don't think we ever will if first impressions mean anything."
